GRAND TERRACE Nephew arrested in death of his uncle

Authorities have arrested a man who they believe is responsible for the death of a 44-year-old Riverside man in July.

On July 17, San Bernardino County sheriff’s deputies found the body of David Martinez, who was run over by a freight train on the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad tracks north of Main Street.

An autopsy revealed that Martinez died from being shot in the upper body. Investigators believe that Martinez’s body was placed on the tracks to destroy evidence and cover up the crime.

An investigation led detectives to issue an arrest warrant for Gerardo Martinez, a 33-year-old Riverside man and the nephew of the victim.

Riverside police arrested him near his home at about 11 p.m. Friday, officials said.

Investigors say David and Gerardo Martinez were gang members, and that the motive for the shooting was gang related.

The Riverside County District Attorney’s Office is prosecuting the case because the involved parties were from Riverside, authorities said.

Investigators believe other people also participated in the shooting.

Anyone with information is asked to call (909) 387-3589.

VICTORVILLE IED prompts lockdown at federal prison

A medium security federal prison remained in lockdown Sunday following the discovery of an improvised explosive device a day earlier, officials said.

All visits to The Federal Correctional Institution II have been canceled until further notice while the FBI conducts an investigation, said Chris Burke, spokesman for the prison.

The small device was discovered about 9:15 a.m. Saturday by a staff member who was performing a routine search of the recreation yard, according to a news release.

The device detonated but resulted in no injuries to staff or inmates, officials said.

The San Bernardino County sheriff’s bomb squad was called to the scene and determined the device was safe, the release stated.

At no time was the public in danger, and all inmates have been accounted for, officials said.

Burke said he could not provide further details because it could hinder the investigation.

The prison, which opened in 2004, houses 1,283 medium security inmates.
